Urgent climate action led by facts, not politics

This is the critical decade for climate action and the decisions made in the next three years will fundamentally affect our children’s and their children’s future

Let me tell you a little about why I’m running to be the independent member for North Sydney.

I’m a successful CEO and board member. I’m also a Northbridge mum, who has lived in the electorate for more than 15 years.

I never imagined being a politician. It was only a few months ago that a friend mentioned my name to community groups looking for a candidate. They asked me to run and I thought the time was right to stand up for what I believe in.

For years I’ve been hearing friends and neighbours explain that the federal government no longer represents what matters to them, especially when it comes to climate change.

When I look at Canberra and then listen to people in my community it’s clear we’re not being heard. 

So, I am standing up to be your voice in Canberra. 

I’m economically conservative and socially progressive. I honestly believe the insight, intelligence and compassion of the people of North Sydney deserves to be heard in Canberra. 

Electing a federal independent is the only way we can clearly demand:

  • Urgent climate action led by facts, not politics
  • A forward-focused economy
  • Integrity in politics
  • Equality and respect 
  • Healthy families and communities 

I know how to make a positive difference. As CEO of the breast cancer charity, McGrath Foundation I worked hard so 25,000 families now have access to a breast care nurse when they need it most.  

I was also CEO of children’s cancer charity, Camp Quality, have held senior roles at a multinational company, and I advise and sit on several boards.

As an independent, I will be free to vote for the needs of our North Sydney community, not the needs of a political party.
